Smoking Blankets - Not Necessarily a Cause for Concern |
 |
One unique feature of our fiberglass insulation that sometimes causes concern, especially among those that are unfamiliar with its qualities, is that it can smoke slightly the first time it is exposed to high temperatures.

Firwin FAQ - What Is the "R Value" of your Insulation Blankets? |
 |
Many of us are familiar with the kind of insulation used around houses and buildings - that pink fiberglass stuff that typically goes in your walls and attic. We also know that the more effective insulation you need, the higher should be the 'R' rating on the insulation, right? Well, while this may be true for insulating your home, for engine, exhausts, and other industrial applications, the 'R' value is only part of the story.

President's Greeting |
|
Welcome to the Summer 2012 issue of Firwin's
industry newsletter, Insulation Insights. In this issue, two important topics that we often get asked about - 'smoking' insulation blankets, and insulation blankets and 'R' values. Plus, just in time for summer, a case study of how a custom yacht builder is using Firwin removable insulation blankets. As always, feel free to email me directly with any comments or suggestions you may have.
Paul Herman, President, Firwin Corp
